The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Monday approved a request by U.S. state agencies, some automakers, universities and others to use spectrum to deploy connected vehicle technology to prevent crashes, especially at intersections.
The technology, if widely used in U.S. vehicles, could prevent at least 600,000 crashes annually, government studies show.
She called it "a game-changing wireless safety technology enabling vehicles to see around corners, talk to other vehicles and communicate – in real-time – with pedestrians, bicyclists, traffic lights and infrastructure." "As deaths on our nation's roadways continue to soar, it is critical that we maximize use of connected vehicle technology to keep all road users safe," Intelligent Transportation Society of America CEO Laura Chace said in a statement.
U.S. Senators Gary Peters and Cynthia Lummis in February urged the FCC to move on the waiver requests saying the "technology is poised to save lives, will pave the way for the future of automobile and transportation infrastructure."
